“Rom with balcony was nice, especially given how small the room is.” (GiulianaStudioCity)

“Try choose a high level room with view of the street at no extra cost” (Will1818)

“try to get a view on the inside courtyard. a bit more quiet.” (GHCMontreal)

Aug 18, 2014

“Ask for a room that does not look onto an internal courtyard, but rather on the street. Double rooms are spacious, but the single rooms (single bed size with mechanism to sit in bed for reading or watching TV) are comfortable as well.” (259margaritas)

Aug 17, 2014

“Single rooms available but get snapped up by business travellers.
Inner rooms are less noisy than those overlooking the street.” (JossM)

“Choose a room with a balcony” (srfab)

Aug 28, 2013

“Ask for a room with an outside view, if this is important to you. For five days (six nights) I stayed in a single room overlooking a parking lot surrounded by other buildings, which felt dreary to me--since the single rooms are least expensive, perhaps there are none with a view?. However, the hotel is correct in saying their rooms are soundproof. A family with three small children stayed beside my room, and I didn't hear anything, which was a relief. Also, the air conditioning was quiet.” (amiddleagedlady)

“Watch out for the summer festivities around the lake! We stumbled upon ZürichFest, which happens once every four years, and goes on with loud music literally all night long...” (JSchlaad)

My brother and I stayed here on our first day/night in Switzerland. Since our flight from the USA arrived in the early morning, and we were jet-lagged we were eager to check in early to the hotel. Fortunately, Opera Hotel was gracious to get our room ready as soon as possible. We went to breakfast/lunch at a local cafe and...

Very nice hotel and excellent location. Room worked well for business travel with desk and wifi. Staff was courteous and helpful. I had pre-arranged early check-in, but my room was not ready. The staff asked for an hour and brought me a coffee while I waited. I lost track of time while working and checked back with the desk after...

Stayed at the Opera Hotel at the end of a trip to Switzerland. Hotel, while lovely in almost all ways, was unfortunately almost unbearably hot due to a heat wave in Zurich. Temps were reaching 95 degrees Fahrenheit and the hotel couldn't adequately keep the rooms cool, even with settings set to lowest temp and highest fan level. We were...

Friendly staff, perfect location next to lake activities. Clean, and very close to train station, tram and buses. The elevator is small and slow, and the rooms are little on the pricy side.
I enjoyed the A/C as the weather was extremely warm

My wife and I visited Zurich from June 11 to June 14, 2015. We stayed at the Hotel Opera, located nearby the magnificent Opera House, and we were highly satisfied. The hotel is in a wonderful location, close to a lake, clean and not as crowded as many other hotels in Zurich. Breakfast was excellent, great services and a very...

Well positioned in Zurich the hotel is staffed with very friendly and helpful people. My room as a single and though tiny (by American standards) it was immaculate and comfortable. Walk around and see the Altschadt, shopping areas etc. No lack of good places to get a bite to eat and a free glass of champagne is offered at the...

Started the work day exhausted after being put in this hotel on a business trip. The hotel's thin curtains do nothing to block out the light. A street lamp shone right into my room and if you do manage to sleep, you will wake with the sun. I ordered a wakeup call for 7.15 and received it at 6.15, a...

This hotel is located behind the opera house, in a prime location, just a few minutes walk from the tram and Stadelhofen train station and a block away from the magnificent Lake of Zurich.
The staff are friendly, helpful and efficient.
This is a sister hotel to the excellent Ambassador a l'Opera, located across the street. As a guest at...

Nice comfortable rooms. Well equipped bathroom, with very good close up mirror. Had bean curry from room service and it was lovely! Friendly and efficient check in. Didn't have breakfast as always very expensive in Swiss hotels
